Jose de Sevilla

Jose de Sevilla (fl. 1715-1722) was the Governor of Gibara from 1715 to 1722 under Spain.

Biography
Sevilla was appointed as the governor of the poorly-defended Spanish fort of Gibara, located on the shore of present-day Cuba. In February 1722, Captain Edward Kenway and the pirate brig "Jackdaw" attacked Fort Gibara, and after destroying the defenses and killing one officer, Kenway entered the war room, where he confronted Sevilla. Sevilla, who begged for mercy, was knocked unconscious rather than killed. He returned to Spain soon after.
